Aubrey de Laurijn

Beatriz van Zonne is the second exclusive Nightloid made by Beatrice (formerly Kellay). She is the creator's new "signature" Nightloid, the previous one being Keirynn Keirai.

Design


In general, Beatriz has medium-long, red (but very, very slightly pink. The creator confirms it as #D14D52, though other art could depict her in #F7468A) hair (which is dyed, her natural hair color is an almost-black dark brown) in a medium hairstyle; and gray-blue eyes, which are her natural eye color and not contacts.

She is 6'1"—185 cm approximately.

Occasionally (especially in the N!GHTLOID design) she is also seen with bright purple, semi-permanent "Cthulhu tentacle" tattoos, which are on both of her arms.

N!GHTLOID design
This design/outfit is her main one. In this design; she wears a white button-up shirt with a red tartan pattern and a company logo on the left-hand side of the shirt and a pocket on the other, below a black vest. She also wears a red skirt with a black and white trim, completed with black suspenders. For her footwear, she wears gray-blue/white shoes, either boots or sneakers (alternatively brown, "formal" shoes").

She wears a blue tie and a black hair ribbon, with an occasional pair of "Joji" glasses, as accessories.

Alternate design
This outfit/design is her second one. In this outfit, she wears a pink/off-white long-sleeved button-up shirt, occasionally wearing it with a red and white college-style bomber jacket with logo patches on it. She also wears a dark blue pleated skirt with a pink rose pattern and ruffled edges of the same color; and for footwear she wears black-blue stockings and white medium-level heeled shoes (sometimes boots)

She wears a light dark blue ribbon tie, a pink hair ribbon and a pair of red prescription glasses for accessories in this outfit.

Semi-formal design
This outfit is formerly Beatriz's main design before her release, but a new (N!GHTLOID) design was made as her main design. In this outfit, she wears a white blouse, and a dark turquoise skirt with a margaret flower pattern. For footwear, she wears black kneesocks and red medium heels.

For an accessory in this outfit, she the same red prescription glasses, along with a white hair ribbon.

PROSPER design
The design used in some Nightcore Series art, which depicts her as a member of PROSPER. In this outfit, she wears a white turtleneck and black pants. Over it she wears a cropped, navy blue overcoat with yellow/gold buttons and trims and numerous logo patches. Beatriz also wears brown combat boots with dark red laces as footwear.

She wears a navy blue general-style hat as a single accessory.

"Ombré" design
This design is rarely used, only for some artworks that the creator made. In this outfit, Beatriz wears a white button-up shirt below a black military trenchcoat with gold edges along with white formal pants; completed with a red cape. For her footwear, she wears black boots.

For accessories in this outfit, she uses a matching general-style black hat (with gold edges) and red-framed prescription glasses.

"Before the Story" design
This design is her appearance before she joined the Nightloid, hence the name "Before the Story". In this design, she has long dark brown hair (the natural color before she dyed it pink) although the eye color stays the same. Outfit-wise, she wears a basic school uniform, consisting of a white short-sleeved button-up shirt, a black plaid skirt and a black blazer/jacket. For footwear, she simply wears white socks and black Oxford-style shoes.

She wears a dark red school ribbon as an accessory in this design.

History
Beatrice (the creator) thought that she needed a new "flagship" character to replace Keirynn Keirai in early 2016. She—the creator—made several designs in trial or error throughout a few months. Finally, in June 5, she made the character's page, but due to time constraints the page editing was paused and resumed a day later (technically making the release date of Beatriz—the new Nightloid—still June 5.)

As of this month, June 5, Beatriz (as planned) is now Beatrice's signature Nightloid, rather than Keirynn.

She is scheduled to become one of the main characters in the upcoming Nightloid fighting/RPG game, Nightsingers Continued along with Raye Nightcore, MELODISCA, Lindsae Harmony, Prisma Rainbow and Keirynn Keirai.

Personality
Beatriz, as described by the creator, is "the archetypal Belgian comic young protagonist"—(somewhat) ambitious, perceptive, quirky, heroic and friendly.

However, Beatriz is (also stated by the creator, that's why the "somewhat" part was added) not heroic or ambitious—she's a girl who prefers to read books for hours and stay away from people, although she's a smart person who notices and points out small details in things, adding up to her perceptiveness. In addition to this, she's easy to make friends with, and also quite sarcastic. The aforementioned "protagonist" part stands out the most when she (and mostly, her friends) are faced with problems, as she often knows many solutions to the conflict.

She isn't really the nicest person around—Beatriz doesn't really trust people that much, and rejects romantic activities and relationships. She also has a few bad sides—she is often easily annoyed, and to a lesser extent a bit impatient. However, that is evened out by her other (good) traits.

She is interested in photography, digital art and stories; and speaks a few languages (Indonesian and English being the main ones, French being her tertiary language) finely. She also speaks a small portion of the Dutch language, although poorly. In addition, Beatriz also practices karate, mainly for self-defense.

Her personality type is ESFP.

Main/Nightcore Series Lore
Beatriz was born in Belgium, although she's actually Indonesian/Southeast Asian (She also has a Dutch last name. These, as explained by the creator, are "ancestor shenanigans" and she decides not to explain this topic in much detail). This resulted in Beatriz and her family moving from one of the mentioned countries to the other one throughout the years because of business reasons—her mother is a very successful entrepreneur while her father is the main editor at a minor newspaper. With the frequent move-ins and move-outs, she had a quite unique childhood.

Finally, after all the move-ins and move-outs, her family decided to just stay in Belgium while she was at the age of 9. Her parents' jobs stayed as usual, while Beatriz was enrolled in an all-girls private school and became a member of its choir. She also rediscovered her past hobbies—reading and being a fan of several of the country's most well known comics. At times, Beatriz also helped as a waitress in a café in the city on weekends.

Beatriz had a stroke of luck throughout the years—she became a popular online digital artist and minor writer. In addition to this, she avoided the "weeaboos" and, luckily, didn't become one of them.

In the main series, she is not seen in person at first—in the second book, Beatriz contacts Spencer, Polly, Raisa, and Lindsae through a chat app on their phones; using the name "μ" as a screenname, which Spencer recognizes as the name of a user he knew from the online game he frequently plays, Plasma Blast Online. She tells them to be alert of everything around them, as they are the so-called "Remnants of the (Chaos) Tragedy" and says that they are heavily searched by Raye's sisters.

Weeks later, she meets the Nightcore "kids" while on a holiday on Shimmer Island (the name given by co-creator Beatrice to the island the series takes place in). The main "kids"—Spencer, Lindsae, Raisa, Polly, Trexe and some others—suspect her as "μ", and she confirms it, also telling Spencer that she does play the same game that he does. Shortly after her physical encounter with the gang, Beatriz joins them—as one of the "normal" humans, with her useful traits being intelligence and some Holmes-esque deduction. However, that does not make her any weaker than the other members with powers.

Beatriz tells the main team that she hails from "a country"—which the "kids" don't know about and is later revealed as, obviously, her home country—and is on the main team's side.

Later, she is revealed as one of the members of PROSPER, a special organization dedicated to protecting Belgium (and by extension, the rest of Europe) against possible otherworldly forces; along with Jamie Historia and Seira Ricks.

Relationships

 * Nightloid - In good terms with most of them, but also can be rivals or worse, enemies.
 * Keirynn Keirai - Close friends, and friendly rival to a lesser extent. They first met at a school fieldtrip while they were in elementary school.
 * Raye Nightcore - Respects her as the main leader of the Nightloid group, also close friends. Raye finds Beatriz inspiring and cool, and vice-versa.
 * MELODISCA - Possibly friends, but not too close.
 * LuLu - Mainly friends.
 * Spencer Tempo - Rivals, but mostly in good terms with each other. She beats Spencer at strategy and/or MOBA games, just like what she did with Mika.
 * Mika Reizou - Is slightly uncomfortable with Mika, but both of them still stay friends nonetheless. Mika is Beatriz's kouhai, who often play video games together.
 * Jamie Historia - Friendly rival, but a close friend most of the time. They knew about (and became friends with) each other through the internet.
 * Seira Ricks - One of her best friends since childhood, and also are cousins. Later revealed to be a fellow PROSPER member.
 * Shion Yukimura - Not essentially friends, better to be described as a teammate.

 * IKARiS - Close friends, but she wishes to be more friendly to them.
 * Polly Rhythm - Somewhat friendly rivals and (occasionally) full-blown rivals, although they can be seen in good terms with each other in canon. They share a love for fashion.
 * Kasari Baretu - Possible rival, or enemy. Beatriz finds Kasari a bit...annoying.
 * Mardhaloid - Kouhai. Mardhaloid often has fangirling sessions, much to Beatriz's chagrin.
 * Kaseyu - Possibly close friends. Beatriz is intrigued with Kaseyu's witch/wizard powers.
 * Funloid - Beatriz is currently their "manager". They are mainly on good terms.
 * Lourdes - Possibly close friends?

Etymology

 * Beatriz: Another spelling (particularly, Portuguese) of the common feminine name Beatrice—which is also the name of the creator, although this might (or might not) be a coincidence.


 * Louise: Also another common feminine name, though her Belgian background might suggest that it is taken from Avenue Louise, a street in Brussels, Belgium.


 * van Zonne: Might not be an actual Dutch last name, but Zonne means "sun"—put together with the preposition (which is mostly used in family names) van, which means "of" in Dutch; it means "of [the] sun".

​Trivia

 * Her blood type is A-.
 * She dislikes weeaboos, watermelons and condescending people.
 * Her early concept name was Luisa Beatriz.
 * Louise is her middle name, not a combined name with her first one; as of December 9, 2016.
 * Her "Ombré" design is slightly inspired from Imperial Lux (League of Legends) and Zorglub (Spirou).
 * Most of her outfits (notably the N!GHTLOID, 1938 and Ombr é designs) have all the colors of the Belgian flag in them; black, yellow, and red.
 * In the Nightcore Series side stories, her Symbol Arcana is "19. The Sun", a reference to her surname.
 * As explained on the quote above (see Design section) the creator stated that Beatriz's shoes (in all outfits) are bulletproof, although they also shoot bullets from the soles.
 * Her "Fighter Subtitle" in Nightsingers Continued is stated to be "Miss Vingtième". This is a reference to her early appearance in the author's Nightcore Series-themed short side stories.
 * Lately, Beatrice (the creator) has announced that Beatriz might be able to sing in Indonesian and French, besides English.
 * The creator stated that Beatriz's favorite movie might most likely be Back to the Future.
 * The creator has said that an ideal faceclaim for Beatriz would be Amy Heidemann, of the music duo Karmin.
